Hello,

I monitor several times a year the same hundred different webpages. They
each contains numerous pdf files, but only a few pdf files are added at a
time.
I have already downloaded all previous pdf files in separate folders, so I
only need to download the one that I don't have yet for each folder.

Do you know a freeware (or shareware) which will enable me to drag and drop
a "pdf link", so the pdf file is downloaded in a folder that I have already
openned?

Note: I know that there is the option "save file as..." in my browser (I.E.
Maxthon) but it is far faster for me (I have added keyboard shortcuts to my
main saving folders) to open a selected folder than to each time select one
folder in "save file as..." and download the file.

Many thanks in advance
jupy

Thanks Bjorn. I already know Httrack. It is a great freeware. But in my case
I have already most of the pdf files of the webpages that I visit, saved on
my hard drive.

Thanks anyway ;)

I would suggest you store the links in one or more text files which can then
be used to download the pdfs using WinHTTrack or a similar web spider. I use
this method for music files.
